Park with Care
With thousands of fans headed to practice every day, parking will be — well, more fun than usual.
Beware of ‘no parking’ zones because towing could be a problem if you don’t adhere!
The Science Museum of Virginia is doing their part to help during the training camp. In order to make sure that members and guests have full access to summer fun at the Science Museum of Virginia, they’ve opened additional parking spaces. Museum parking will continue to be free for all guests and members.
The Children’s Museum of Richmond Central has also issued some important parking guidelines. There will be one point of entrance into the parking lot: the Broad Street-East Loop into the Science Museum of Virginia. There will be one point of exit from the parking lot: the Broad Street-West Loop from the Science Museum of Virginia.
